Laura Dockrill is an author of both adult and children's books. She is married to the love of her life, musician Hugo White, and together they have a little boy called Jet.
After giving birth to her son, Laura suffered severe postpartum depression which saw her waking up alone in a psychiatric ward on her first Mother's Day. One of her books based on her experience is called What Have I Done?
She also has a new children's picture book out next year called Gray. It's about depression and illustrated by Lauren Child.
Laura is positive and funny and lovable and it is such a joy to see her recovered and happy while still able to share her experiences, which I know will go on to help the 1 in 1,000 new mothers who also suffer from postpartum psychosis.
Warning: contains talk on suicide and suicidal thoughts.
